Basque Tek Ventures is a new initiative aimed at supporting and accompanying the creation of new technology-based companies (deeptech) supported by technologies generated by the centres belonging to the Basque Research & Technology Alliance (BRTA).
Projects based on high technology (deeptech) generate a greater impact and a higher productive transformation in terms of job creation and turnover, internationalisation, attracting investment and financing.
However, they are projects that are more difficult to implement, launch and consolidate, and have a high perceived risk that makes it difficult to obtain financing and attract talent.
Faced with this scenario, Basque Tek Ventures was created, which will have a positive impact on the main critical factors affecting the process of creating new technology-based start-ups, complementing and reinforcing the work being done by R&D agents and the Basque entrepreneurial ecosystem.
It is an itinerary that identifies and prioritises the technological assets with the greatest potential, supports the creation of high-performance teams and accompanies the start-up of the company and its access to the market.
An opportunity to develop and implement solutions and technologies to face present and future challenges.
Basque Tek Ventures provides a complete programme of specialised high-impact services that focus on the critical aspects of the deep tech start-up creation process
• Scouting process
• Analysis of technological assets
• Design of the project’s road map
• Support in the configuration of high-performance equipment
• Expert advice/high-impact mentoring
• Facilitates the recruitment of the talent required for the project
• Pre-seed technology transfer fund (up to 250,000)
• Visibility and access to a network of investors specialised in different verticals.
• Powerful network of mentors who will support and guide the development of the projects.
• Access to the support services of the BICs
• Visibility and connection with the Basque Country’s industrial fabric
